How to Replace a Hood Hinge Without Removing the Hood on Dodge Dakota?

The hood does not need to be removed to replace either hood hinge; each hinge can be exchanged through its own access point. Open up the hood and then place a support underneath the side you want to repair. Before beginning assembly, mark all attachment spots for your bolts and hinges with a grease pencil or an alternative. Following this, carefully slide the support cylinder from the upper hinge and remove hinge 1's nuts. Remove hinge bolts 2 from your place inside the engine compartment before moving hinge 1 forward and removing it from the fender rail.

How to Install a Hood Hinge on Dodge Dakota?

The first thing to do is slide the hood hinge back into place on the rail, so the marks are aligned. In the engine compartment, set both of the hinge bolts and tighten the rear one to 20 Nm (15 ft. lbs.) and the front one to 20 Nm (15 ft. lbs.). After that, place the nuts over the hinge on the hood and tighten them so the torque registers 23 Nm (17 ft. lbs.). You should then install the support cylinder. Afterward, make certain the hood fits right and make the needed adjustments.
